Hoyer / Vilsack - assignment

I photographed the House Minority Whip, Congressman Steny Hoyer, and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack for the Appalachian Regional Commission today.

Flashmob outtakes

A few images that stayed with me from a recent assignment in DC for Advocates for Youth.

I Saw The Letter F in the Gutter

Seen near the site of a street shrine to Henry Kelly on Buena Vista Terrace, in SE Washington DC.

Homage to Charles Demuth's I Saw The Figure 5 in Gold, inspired by William Carlos Williams poem, "The Great Figure":

"Among the rain
and lights
I saw the figure 5
in gold
on a red
fire truck
moving
tense
unheeded
to gong clangs
siren howls
and wheels rumbling
through the dark city"

And, here, I found the letter F, in the gutter, a few sad steps from a murder site...

Blue light special

Mila Helena / new love miracle

I had the privilege to photograph the arrival of Mila, the daughter of my friends.

She was born during a snowstorm on the afternoon of January 28th, 2011.

Welcome.

And blessings upon the holy miracle of new life.

Blessed are You, Adonai, Creator of the Universe, who has granted us life, sustained us and enabled us to reach this occasion.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ אֶלוֹהֵינו מֶלֶך הַעוֹלָם שֵהֵחְיָנוּ וְקִיְמָנו וְהִגִיעָנוּ לַזְמַן הַזֶה
